Equipment
Ingredients
For the Tacos:
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lb ground dark meat turkey
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon mild chili powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup tomatillo salsa (salsa verde)
- 8 corn tortillas, warmed
For the Corn Salsa
- 1 ½ cups corn kernels, frozen, defrosted or cut off 2 ears fresh corn
- ¼ red onion, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅓ cup chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Make the Taco Meat: In a large skillet 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the turkey and sprinkle with the cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon salt, stirring to combine.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until no longer pink and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Make the Corn Salsa: While the turkey is cooking, combine the corn kernels, red onion, lime juice, salt, and cilantro in a medium bowl. Stir to combine.
- To serve, add a few spoonfuls of the turkey onto each tortilla. Top with corn salsa and and other toppings you like.
Notes
- Guac is so good as a topper, but sour cream and cheese are lovely additions as well.
- Any tortilla works here! If using corn just make sure they are warmed first to avoid tearing.
